Can you date a person who doesn't believe in voting?

[fonduegirl]

[Miristheiss]

Sure.

To be honest, I am not one of those out there preaching everyone should vote... get out there and vote.

I go the other way. I like people that have taken the time to LEARN about the issues and candidates voting records and stances on issues and how they have voted to vote. People that actually know something and who actually have some knowledge and have given it some thought.

I know there are tons of people who don't know anything about candidates or politics and have no idea what anyone stands for or how anyone has voted regarding anything. They are 100% ignorant and literally just pick some name.

What's it going to be A or B?

Mmmmmm, I guess B. My best friends name starts with the letter B.

So, if someone doesn't know anything about the issues, the candidates, what they stand for, their voting record... anything, it won't bother me at all if they stay home on election day.

[AdithyaR]

That's a complicated situation in India.
The laws for voting and voter's I'd are weird to the point where you can only vote in the place of your permanent residence which is difficult for people who moved away from their birth homes.
My permanent address is in the state i was born and grew up in but I live in a different state now, so voting would require me to go back to my hometown which isn't always possible.

This makes voting a kind of non issue as a criteria for dating here. I can understand why someone here wouldn't believe in it.

[A_Bell]

Frankly voting is a waste of time, especially in federal elections. For your particular vote to matter, not only do you have to live in a district that isn't designed to be safe for one party or another, then the roughly 300k-500k votes split exactly evenly so you can decide the result.

Then, the lawyers would get involved and the courts would decide the winner.

They've already selected the winners except for fringe cases, so why legitimize them? For pretend like a kindergartner?

[BlueScorpio]

Yes? My husband doesn't really like to vote anymore but i do tell him that he shouldn't give up that right though. Even if you don't really think it matters, just do it anyway. So hopefully I can get him to do the presidential voting.

[Avicenna]

Yes, definitely. That says nothing about how they’d be as a partner nor is it a dating criterion.

[AviatorTom]

That would not be ideal, but if she has other good traits, and we get along fine, that would not be a problem. We would just rarely discuss politics, which is typically a good idea anyway.

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Not sure, it's not exactly a deal breaker but I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm used to people disagreeing with me on politics so it's not a big deal but voting is somehow different. Not sure, I guess it depends on the person. The viewpoint is kind of negative though..

[SnowedIn]

Can you? Sure. Should you? I don't know if that would be a dealbreaker but it's a hard one. My concern isn't that they vote a specific way but rather that not voting is an abdication of the responsibilities of being a citizen. That'd be really hard to get past.

[NathanDavis]

very good point, however... what's the point of being a responsible citizen when the only two viable options to vote are the politicians that have always avoided their actual responsibilities towards the citizens themselves

is it really a responsible thing to do? to keep voting irresponsible people onto the power?

isn't that more like enabling irresponsible governments?

[TripleAce]

Sure. When it comes to dating I generally keep politics and all this stuff out. Love is all I really care about. Can she be loving. Do we have fun on dates. Is the romance nice. Is she generally a good woman

im fine with differences as long as the above is there

[Kaneki05]

Imagine finding someone you like, and then after 4 weeks of dating or something an election thing comes up so you ask about it they say "I don't vote so shrugs." then you who liked said person just goes "Okay bye! We are done now."

The idiot is obvious here.

[NathanDavis]

sure... I've never voted myself, lol

and I'd date someone else that does not vote... and also date someone who, for whatever reason... believes politicians, lol

[BJP21]

Sure why not, its a right, not a requirement.

[fonduegirl]

Exact-fucking-ly

[Paul09]

Why is that even a question? Do you not see the choices all countries have. Only voting you can do, is vote for the one who's less dumber than the other one. Voting sucks when they are all corrupt, selfish morns one way or another.

[Pete671]

Yes if I liked them, be a great discussion, although voting never really solves the problems of the most vulnerable in society, better to put your energies into direct help by volunteering,,,

[YourFavoriteFriend]

Yep! Why vote anyways if everyone is a scumbag?

[westend12]

Yeah that wouldn't be a problem at all to be honest. I vote personally but know of people that just get their name ticked off and don't put any names down

[JDavid25]

Yes, cause we would be in the same boat.. Not exactly not believing in voting, I just don't believe voting is much useful as I prefer little to no government.

[Pudsmucker]

If you don't vote you can't complain. I do know a few people that have felonies and they are restricted from participating as true US citizens.

[DryGermanGuy]

Isn't that similar to a person who doesn't believe in gravity?

(for people living in democratic countries of course)

[pizzalovershouse]

Shure if they dont cut down your political views or who you vote for or what you vote for

[dustybiker]

People who like to bit*h but don’t take the efforts to attempt changing the system themselves? No.

[FilmGuy93]

Given how rabid and misinformed so many of the women who care about voting are; I would prefer dating one who didn’t care about politics

[exitseven]

Yes, I figure it is better than if she was a democrat.

[fonduegirl]

What if she's liberal

[exitseven]

just as bad,

[fonduegirl]

😚😃😁😁😁😁

[Brando10222]

That's a red flag for me. Cause they will complain how crapy the government is but won't vote to change it.

[fonduegirl]

Not all of them do. It's just your assumption.

[Brando10222]

The ones I've seen do

[fonduegirl]

My mom doesn't vote. I've never heard her comment on anything that the government does.

[Brando10222]

That's cool!

[fonduegirl]

Thanks, I'll tell her

[TacosRAwesome]

Yes as long as they don't complain about the issues caused by them not voting.

[linka_pat307]

Yes, besides our lives don't depend on the voting, I myself I don't believe in voting

[HippieVeganJewslim]

I think so, but dating anyone is hard for a nerd like me.

[HugeDikEng]

What? Of course you can. It's his right to vote or not vote. You know how many people died so you would have that right?

[Degenerate]

Only if they vote for this dick

[4ngelic]

yea i dont give a shit about politics

[Changiis07]

I def could!

[htmndg183]

Yea. Many dont vote in my circle anyways.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, it's okay with me

[Pink2000]

Absolutely not.

[Literalbillionaire17]

Yes but I would try to encourage them to do so

[Jennz6]

Not sure if you want to

[Agape93]

Yeap

[moonpie89]

Yes.. I don't care if they don't

[DavidRaul]

Absolutely yes

[Nigjt]

For me yes I can.
God Bless

[Msputiton]

Yes.

[ChiTown33]

Like ever?

[AsaKyo]

Yeah

[BLP11520]

Sure why not

[eagle1951]

sure why not
